The cocoa I use is non-Dutch process and is very dark. There are also differences in fat content--you can get somewhere around 12% fat here, which is light brown, and 24% fat, which is very dark, deep brown (the one I use).Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-18567407993270740442009-08-31T04:19:17.623+10:002009-08-31T04:19:17.623+10:00Mmm that smoothie sounds amazing especially with a...Mmm that smoothie sounds amazing especially with a side of those cookies.

I can&#39;t remember what it was exactly, but not long ago I was reading that dutch processed cocoa just does not work in some recipes, something to do with the alkalinity (I think it cancelled out the bicarb soda or something in some recipes, particularly vegan one&#39;s and stopped things from rising properly). That being said, you generally use eggs in baking so that wouldn&#39;t be a problem? (No help really, am I? Sorry!)Vegetationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01418079315150652057noreply@blogger.com
